From Abba Kabara, Gusau.

Tension has reached feverish pitch in Tsafe town of Zamfara State as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) taking refuge in the area have blocked all entrances and exits of the town calling for intervention from authorities to do the needful in containing the criminal activities in the State, particularly the unabated killings of innocent citizens.

Travellers along the road which is the major road linking Zamfara to Zaria/Kaduna/Kano and Sokoto/Kebbi are on standstill.
